Business Stripped Bare is not really a business book. I enjoyed it as much as I did Branson's earlier autobiography, Losing My Virginity. He details the expansion of Virgin beyond the United Kingdom, which was particularly interesting as he discusses Virgin's ventures in Australia. However, the focus is not so much on the sequence of recent events, but how he still manages to be an entrepreneur when Virgin is so large and how he is using these skills to combat climate change.
Before Brad Pitt's movie, I must admit to not having heard of Benjamin Button and if I hadn't have been able to download it for free on my iphone, I may not have read the character's story. But, with these modern promptings, I did and I loved the tale. Far from being sad, it is endearing and thought provoking and had me feeling contemplative throughout the day. The ending, of course, is obvious from the start. If only our lives did go that way. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a short story worth reading.
